On: Redis Turns 10 – How it started with a single post...

[pault]

Google says anecdote means "a short amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person."

Edit: This should have been a reply to the comment from EugeneOZ saying it's not an anecdote; I replied to the wrong comment by accident.

[sethgecko → pault]

The literal translation from Greek is “unpublished” which refers to a short incident irrelevant enough to not be part of the main story. In modern Greek anecdoto means joke.

Hm, I'm no native speaker. In my language, we use the same word for "stories from the past".

[menacingly → akuji1993]

I am a native speaker and this was correct usage of anecdote by any reasonable definition
